Skype 5.3 for Mac roars in with HD video chat

Things you might also like

Skype 5.3 for Mac has landed bringing with it support for Apple's new platform, Mac OS X Lion, and offering VoIPers access to HD video calling.

Obviously you'll need a HD camera for that feature, but luckily Apple has hemmed one into its latest iMacs and MacBooks; so quick, run down to your nearest Apple Store and hand over your hard earned cash now.

If you haven't got a thousand quid or so spare, you could just grab a HD webcam and plug that in to your old Mac.

And if you're not rocking Lion yet, don't worry because Skype 5.3 is backwards compatible all the way to Leopard.
